I had a not the best marriage that came
00:00:02
to an end and just destroyed me there
00:00:04
was a lot of times I just stand in front
00:00:06
of the mirror I don't know who you are
00:00:08
you used to be all these things like
00:00:10
sports person don't cry and loving life
00:00:12
and lots of friends and now you're just
00:00:15
sitting in this bedroom for months on
00:00:17
end not talking to anyone locked away
00:00:19
from the world you'd gone so far away
00:00:21
from who you knew you were at your core
00:00:23
or who you thought you should be at your
00:00:25
core I think I think that's what it was
00:00:27
every man has two lives and a second
00:00:30
life starts when you realize you only
00:00:32
have one and that was that moment for me
00:00:34
and I was like I have to make the most
00:00:36
of my life so I put the hammer down just
00:00:39
started lifting weights and eating right
00:00:41
so 41 kilos heavier now than we were
00:00:43
then there's a lot of blocks of cheese
00:00:45
yeah yeah I like to measure on sex
00:00:47
potatoes
00:00:49
for full sex
00:00:52
